"YOU!!!!!" Vladimir shouted, his voice a mixture of fear, surprise, and disbelief as he laid eyes and focused on the man who said those words. At the same time, he tried to comprehend what the heck had happened to him moments ago, and now that his mind was clear, he also couldn't help but wonder how they were even able to transport him here immediately.
"Long time no see. How are you doing?" Aron's calm smile and casual greeting sent shivers down Vladimir's spine, a stark contrast to the turmoil which he felt within.
"What did you do to me? Did you hypnotize me? You do realize that my government will be looking for me, right? Given the time it took me to wake up, it seems like we are still in Russia. In here, they can find anyone as long as they put their minds to it, you know, right?" He fired his questions like bullets as he tried to come up with a hypothesis that would make sense as to what was happening to him. At the same time, he was trying to intimidate the man in front of him so that he could force him to release him or at least delay his torment for more time to reduce the torture he would have to go through until they were able to find him, even if he reduced it by some negligible time.
"Don't worry about our fun ending too early. No one will find you anytime soon, anyway. Moreover, I didn't hypnotize you or did any similar manipulation. Everything that you experienced was as real as it can be, with just some help from my side, that's it." Aron answered Vladimir's question with carefreeness of the world, as though he held all the time in the world to do whatever he wanted with no one being able to interrupt him. These words of his caused Vladimir to feel a chill to the depth of his bones.
"Shall we start anew, this time with double the nerve sensitivity?" Aron said before Vladimir was teleported once again to the forest. Horror gripped him, and he reacted instinctively by screaming the moment he saw the forest that surrounded him and tried to run away without even trying to comprehend how Aron was even able to do that. Alas, no matter how hard he tried to move and run, he had no control over any of the muscles in his body, leaving him paralyzed and helplessly before he was forcefully put to sleep for the cycle to start once again, but this time with his nerves being made as twice as sensitive than the first time.
His ordeal was far from over, poised to begin anew, with his torment deepening with each passing cycle.
Vladimir, who was sleeping, could be seen having his eyes moving restlessly despite his eyelids being closed, hinting that something was messing with him.
This time, he snapped awake without procrastinating any longer as the memories of this previous event were still with him. As his senses returned, he frantically scanned his surroundings, his heart pounding with fear and dread.
The moment he woke up, he immediately lunged at a massive boulder within the forest, smashing himself onto it headfirst, trying to break open his head so that he could have an end to the suffering he had to go through previously and didn't want to experience the same thing anymore, much less with twice the sensitivity.
"ARGGHHHHH!" A guttural scream erupted from his mouth after his head collided with the stone, causing blood to flow out of his injury, yet failed to render any of his desired outcomes. While his skull bore the brunt of this impact, there was no other damage, such as damage to his spinal cord or anything else. At the same time, his body still remained in full control of his motion, and he was still conscious.
Together with the head-butting pain followed a reminder of the ever-intensifying itch that clawed at him once again. This time, he was acutely aware that the itchiness had truly doubled, even doubling the torment coursing through him. This caused him to scream in fear and horror at the thought that he will have to spend the next hours experiencing the unquenchable itchiness, an itch which he could do nothing about.
This time however, he just sat down and tried to endure it by summoning all of his willpower as he remembered that the first time he dabbled himself from the itch, it would double the itchiness he would feel on the wounded location, causing him to feel itchier than the itchiness on top of other unharmed skins.
The brief concentration he gained from trying to concentrate gave his brain a chance to think about how the heck his body didn't enter a shock the first time he felt those excruciating itches. After he had endured it for about an hour, which was supposed to happen as a sort of defense mechanism to protect himself, it didn't come until the fifth hour, when it finally kicked in quite late in the game.
Unfortunately, before he could come up with a reasonable hypothesis of the situation he was in, his brain weirdly returned its focus back to the itchiness, causing tears of horror and fear to stream down his face as he started screaming as best as he could to tire himself as fast as possible, each second stretched into eternity for him as he grappled with the maddening sensations.
A few hours later.
"Are you prepared for the third round?" Upon hearing those words this time, Vladimir's consciousness shattered as he was on the cusp of surrendering to unconsciousness. Just like the previous time, his body was once again transported back to a room where Aron was sitting in front of him the same way he was sitting there last time.
After seeing him, Vladimir immediately got on his knees and started pleading, "Please forgive me, sir, please forgive me, sir, I will be your loyal dog for the rest of my life if you want me to. I will follow all of your orders even if you order me to kill someone from the Kremlin. If you want me to drown myself in a sea of fire, I will do it, but please don't send me to that place anymore. Please!" With tears streaming down his face, he continued begging.nOvεlUSb.com
However, Aron, who was still calm despite Vladimir's begging, cold-heartedly said, "I will consider your plea, but not at the moment. I have planned for you to get ten rounds of this, with the pain doubling with each round. So please, delay your begging until then. Then we can talk and decide the next course of action. Now, go to experience it once again," Aron said before snapping his fingers, causing Vladimir to disappear and reappear once again within the same forest, trapped in a cycle of torture that showed no mercy. He was put to sleep, destined and repeated to suffer the same torture once again with double the previous sensitivity.
A few hours later, he was sent once again and again and again and again and again until, [Sir, if he continued to experience it anymore, he will reach a road of no return] Nova interjected just when Aron was about to send him for one more round.
"How long is the cooldown and healing going to take?" Aron asked, seemingly dissatisfied, despite doing it for such an extended period of time.
